This large and impressive structure was restored and opened as a museum in 2006. You will be fascinated by the landscape in Shaykh Edebali Tomb, which is built on cliffs. Shaykh Edebali was considered by many to be the philosophical architect of the Ottoman Empire.

Orhan Ghazi Mosque, built on the edge of a steep cliff and believed to have been built in the early 14th century and only 50 meters from the Edebali Mausoleum, was restored in 1973. Unlike other mosques, where the minarets are traditionally adjacent to the mosque, the main minaret of Orhan Ghazi Mosque is built on a rock, 30 meters away from the main building.

The Clock Tower is located at the center of Bilecik Province, over a hill dominating the city. It was built by Sultan Abdulhamit II and is a monumental work reflecting late Ottoman architectural features.
